Not wanting to "clutter" an "information thread" with what might be perceived as "trivia," I thought I'd better start a new thread... ;>

On the Lily of the West thread, someone mentioned a collection of folk songs by S. Baring-Gould. I *JUST* inherited (literally two weeks ago) an "annotated Mother Goose" by two Baring-Goulds. Who are these Baring-Goulds, and what other books should I be looking for by them? I love the Mother Goose. Did they do similar things with folk tunes?

All info appreciated!

I think the 'Annotated Mother Goose' (and a book of Limericks) were from descendents of the Rev. Sabine Baring Gould.

I mentioned Baring Gould in the Flora, Lily of The West thered. I am pretty (if not completely) ignorant on these matters. All I know is that I own a copy of "Songs of the West" which apart from having his name on the cover, was edited by Cecil Sharpe and I would imagine that it would have been a very good collection of songs for its time.

Only shame is that mine has a page missing (torn out - either me or one of my 3 brothers must have done it as kids) that has the words to Strawberry Fair which was a song my mother used to play on the piano for us and I used to love - maybe one day I'll manage to restore it one day.

If you're interested here's a site on the Rev. Sabine Baring Gould run by Matrin Graebe 9you may want to check out Martin's song while you're there too.

Put 'Baring Gould' in the last name box of 'search' at www.bookfinder.com and you will find several books by Sabine and William Baring Gould. Sabine was a prolific author, and not all of his books will be found there.
